Perennial decorator go-to hue, Benjamin Moore's White Dove. (Interior by James Radin, via Milk and Honey)The moment I have been dreading has arrived--it's time to choose the trim color. Why paint at all? Well, because the previous owner left us with absolutely every surface coated in a shade that looks like a manilla folder that was left in the smoker's lounge at the airport for 20 years.
I am ready for things to start looking fresh and clean and not so much like this...
Or this...
But even with all of those semesters of Color Theory behind me, I still believe that choosing the perfect white is a mind-numbing crapshoot complicated by a myriad of latitudinal factors. The only thing I firmly believe, is that better quality paint yields the best results (unfortunately for my wallet). So, back to the paint store I go for more samples.
(Extra points if you can name those teeth).
